Looks like Target's in on these exclusives as well. Odd that Walmart and Target would be sharing different exclusives from the same line of old ships, including a couple of the identical ships getting shared... Or are they not the Diecast versions, and are instead just the old MicroMachine ones? Hard to tell really... I guess it's probably the latter, now that I think about it.

Are the figures from the former Micro Machine line, or what? Actually, after scoping out the larger shots, they almost look like they're all new...

I fiddled with the size of the images to get a sense of how big these could be and my best guess is the package is roughly 4" x 6".

The figures are 3/4", not including the puck-like stand. (I wonder if there's significance to the uniform stand other than to save costs in tooling or production should it be a separate piece the figure is later attached to.)

At this scale, most of the ships would indeed be the same size as existing mm vehicles, the exception being the landspeeder. The one pictured appears slightly bigger (and obviously without a seated Luke). It also looks like the sandcrawler has less detail, but that could just be due to the low resolution.

Just caught this thread over at RS. Someone's attributing to SSG that the micro line consists of rehashes from the diecast/x-ray ships.

The sandcrawler in the picture certainly resembles the diecast version more closely than than it does the mm vehicle.

Are they going to release EP3 vehicles with these? They just can't get past the fact that everyone has the OT ships that wanted them. You think they would learn that with the AF OT vehicles from the past release.

After thinking about it a bit, the Titanium Series must be like the old Die-Cast vehicles, and so the Micro line would be equivalent in size to the old MicroMachines line. Now if I can just figure out if they're new or rehashes...

I picked up the first 3 the other day at MM. Haven't opened them yet, and don't have my prior Micro Machine ships handy to compare them, though I'd suspect the ships to be the same. Not so sure about the figures though. I think they're all new.

But yeah J2, the former Diecast line from a number of years ago is now the new WM exclusive Titanium Series, along with some all-new PT ships as well.

Upon closer inspection, I'm not thinking the ships may be all new as well... They seem bigger than the original MM ships. Maybe they're even from the same molds as WM's Titanium series? I have no idea. Anyone know?

I heard they were molded using the larger "X-Ray" versions of MM, like these.

The X-Ray ships were a bit larger than the standard MMs were. I don't own them to compare for ya, but that is the info I last heard from Target...
